My mother-in-law Pauline has been in Moorgate for 17 months. All the staff at the home are so friendly and caring, especially Zara on reception who is the first face you see. Lisa who does activities is brilliant, they always have time to have a quick chat and update us on Pauline and what she has been
doing. Would recommend Moorgate to anyone.
Reply from Sandra Hustwick, Director of Quality at Moorgate LodgeThank you for writing such a positive review for Moorgate Lodge. I will pass your comments on the manager and the staff. Its lovely to hear that your Mother in law has settled so well.

Mum has now been in Moorgate for 7 months. She has never been as well both physically and mentally. She has been encouraged to participate in many activities and has really enjoyed joining in. The care has been amazing, and activities are really varied as there is always stimulation. She has a good
appetite and enjoys most of the food. The friendship, love and care she has been shown is amazing. As a close family, we are really happy to see that she's looked after as we would as a family. Thank you.
Reply from Sandra Hustwick, Director of Quality at Moorgate LodgeThank you for taking the time to write a review for the service. The staff will be really pleased to hear they are doing such a good job and that your Mum has settled in at the home.

We can't thank the staff enough here for the care they give my mum. We are so grateful for everything everyone does. The entertainment ladies are amazing and often get my mum up dancing. Everyone works so hard. The activities and entertainment are brilliant and make the place fun. I would love to live
here when I am unable to care for myself.
Reply from Sandra Hustwick, Director of Quality at Moorgate LodgeThank you for for your positive review. I am so pleased that your mum has settled so well at Moorgate Lodge. I will pass on your kind words to the staff at the home.

The care my friend received at Moorgate Lodge was exceptional. You provided her with a safe space where she could spend her last few weeks in peace surrounded by staff who genuinely cared about her. The carers, nurses, managers, in fact everyone, went above and beyond to look after my friend. I shall
be eternally grateful to them all for showing my dearest friend love and compassion at the end of her life.

Please do not place your loved ones in this Nursing Home.


This home is dangerous in my opinion. I found the nursing staff do not listen to the relatives of loved ones even when you are trying to advise them that your loved one may be ill. Management are obstructive and medical interventions are practically

non existent.
I found the nursing home to smell on the landings of body odour. Not surprising really with the extreme temperatures in this place. No fans or air conditioning even in the extreme temperatures. It's ridiculous, even the staff are nearly collapsing due to the heat.
Stimulus is non existent too for the residents. Absolutely nothing to do in this place for the residents. All you see the poor residents do is sit or lay in their rooms. This place is literally soleless.


I would not trust management in this place. It appears all about money not patient centred care. Please avoid at all costs.

Reply from Sandra Hustwick, Director of Quality at Moorgate LodgeAt Park Lane Healthcare we do value all feedback and always provide a response and opportunity to meet to discuss when required. This opinion does not reflect the kind and professional care we know is provided by the dedicated team at Moorgate Lodge, as illustrated by all the other reviews shared by families and residents.All concerns raised by this reviewer have been fully investigated and none have been upheld.A recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home "Good" with outstanding leadership.

My mother in Law was looked after extremely well for her end of life care. The staff were professional and very caring. Other relatives we met included nurses who again praised the home and its staff very highly. The food there is also worth a mention. It is made by a chef and is delicious.

My mum was at this nursing home for the last 3 months of her life. It was a difficult decision and stressful choosing the right home. We chose Moorgate Lodge and never regretted it. The care and love and professionalism was second to none. They not only looked after mum, they looked after us too. An
awful time in our lives was made better thanks to these lovely staff and friends. Thank you- my love to all.

Moving mum into a care home was such a difficult decision for us as a family.
The manager, deputy manager, nursing and care staff have all been wonderful.
They care for mums needs so well, always cheerful professional and caring and they always have time to talk to us.
I feel that this care home
goes above and beyond in everything offered. The environment is bright and welcoming, the bedrooms are lovely. We are looking forward to the activities being planned for VE day! Well done Moorgate Lodge and thank you for getting it right.

my mom needed end of life care and we were fortunate to find Moorgate Lodge. The manager was so loving and caring from our first meeting. The whole team were fantastic ensuring ensuring mums room suited her individual needs, and her care was second to none. Evaluated on a daily basis to ensure she
got the best out of her remaining time. We were treat like family by everyone and kept fully upto date. Mums passing was very peaceful, she was painfree and calm. An amazing Home / Team. Special thanks to the manager and the team.

My mum moved into Moorgate Lodge in January from hospital following a fall at home. From our first initial meeting/visit to the home, we were made to feel very welcome and felt that Moorgate Lodge was the place that would meet our mum's physical, social and emotional needs. The home manager was very
warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. I knew her aim was for her staff to deliver person-centred, evidence-based care to my mum. Which they did and more. Mum received a high standard of care from all members of staff. I stayed with Mum during her last night and I witnessed a high standard of care delivered to Mum with empathy and compassion. The home is tranquil but also has many activities to choose from, well furnished and very clean. Thank you to everyone at Moorgate Lodge.

My mother moved into a very comfortable, good-sized room with a patio door. We created a small garden area for her where she watches the wildlife on her bird feeders. As she is virtually bedbound, this is a pleasure for her.
Nursing and caring needs are well taken care of. The only downside being the
lack of social interaction. We as a family visit daily, but other than that daily activities or interaction from staff is limited.
I appreciate Mum is not able to participate in games, quizzes etc but a little conversation would be all we ask. Staff converse with family when we are there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Moorgate Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.724 for Moorgate Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 330 Ratings = 4.724
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Moorgate Lodge is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
